  • Episode 9: Your Key Intention as a Coach (Ep. 9)
    Sep 28 2021
    For the first episode of Season Two we're revisiting a topic that we discussed in Episode 3: Your Key Intention as a Coach. In this episode April and Nadia each share what their key intention is and why it is the most important. For April, this intention helps her to communicate better with the group of people that she is working with, and helps her better understand if learning is taking place. For Nadia, her key intention is so important, that she shares that intention with the athletes that she is working with, so that they know it is important to her. Join us for this episode, and then afterward take some time to sit down and establish what your key intention is as a coach. Knowing this information and having it as the cornerstone of your coaching program will help you make sure that you're sticking to your key purpose as a coach.
